"Machine Gun Preacher" Trailer

Gerard Butler stars in this fact-based drama set in the Sudan. Opens November 18th. (Published Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2011)

Some trailers take two seconds of material and stretch it into a minute and a half. Others, like this one from the new Gerard Butler movie "Machine Gun Preacher," are all about cramming, cramming, cramming.

Director Marc Forster - who did "Quantum of Solace," an unfairly maligned movie in our opinion - certainly has an eye for epic scope, and Butler seems serious about getting back to some acting again following whatever the hell "The Bounty Hunter" was.
